BREAKING NEWS
It is interesting times in Greenland; knowledge is more important than ever for society and industry.
In recent months, I have given many talks and interviews on Greenland resources, in all cases based on well-documented research, often written by myself and good former collegues. I have also participated in various pod casts:
I am always available for presentations and discussions about Greenland, especially the history of drilling, petroleum and mineral exploration, licensing policy, and the US interest for critical minerals. I use these published studies for teaching and advice.
If you want a standard public presentation, try to book me at flemminggc@hotmail.com. If a company or an investor group wants are more thorough analysis and internal presentation on a specific subject, this can also be arranged.
UPDATE OF KEY TABLES FROM REVIEW PAPERS
All scientific papers eventually get outdated, some quicker than others. Although review papers generally have a rather long-lived period of relevance, some tables need to be constantly updated – and in a few cases revised if some primary details have been overlooked, neglected or where good colleagues have provided additional information.
In the three recent reviews on petroleum exploration, mining and mineral exploration, and drilling history of Greenland, published in Resources Policy, Mineral Economic, and The Extractive Industry and Society, respectively, this is also the case.The comprehensive list of companies that have been exploring for minerals in Greenland (Supplementary file1 in https://doi.org/10.1007/s13563-022-00350-2) is constantly being updated with information on new and relinquished licenses, drilling seasons, and a large number of name changes of companies. To help newcomers in Greenland exploration, I have decided to make the updated table available, researchers and industry are welcome to contact me for a free updated version on flemminggc@hotmail.com.
The papers on the drilling history have given a lot of feedback from colleagues in the scientific and exploration communities (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.exis.2024.101417, https://issuu.com/greenland/docs/tg2_2024_gratis_komprimeret). One of my co-authors David Whitehead from GEUS, has made a great contribution of digging out much old data, and made many more details from mineral drilling available on the Greenland portal: https://maps.greenmin.gl/. I have decided to constantly update and make the material on mineral exploration drilling available as this is useful for monitoring level of activities and exploration for specific commodities.
Finally, I hope to update and expand the Inventory of Oil and Gas Seeps in Greenland (https://doi.org/10.34194/geusb.v47.6519). There is a strong need for information on flux and seepage of climate gases, and for economic reasons also for information of white hydrogen and helium that could be a critical commodity in the coming years.
Although thousands of hours have been used on compiling and revising data in tables, I am sure that there are always some missing details that may be relevant for future research and exploration. In all cases, I hope to get constructive feedback.
